The Kraken is a sea monster in Norse mythology.
It appeared in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as an enormous squid that Davey Jones would sic on his enemies.
When a ship was about to escape he would say, “Release the Kraken!”

I think Kraken is some sort of software, maybe Python-based, that allows technerds (and I mean that affectionately-they will be the heroes in this saga) to look at log-ons and such across networks.
I am sure someone else can explain it better as well as its implications.
Also, Kraken is the name of a bitcoin currency exchange. Is that what the traitors used to send money to each other for operational costs?
I didn’t know until a day ago:
It’s a line from the movie “Clash of Titans” (1981), directed by Desmond Davis, written by Beverly Cross, and stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen. (The stop motion animation is what makes the movie a cult classic.)
The kraken was an octopus-like monster invented for the movie. (Kraken is a word for octopus in some languages, like German.) The kraken is not actually part of classical Greek mythology.
Zeus orders Poseidon to release the kraken to terrorize Joppa, the city whose princess is Andromeda, who in turn is chained to a cliff as a sacrifice to the kraken. Zeus, who loves to toy with humans, then helps Perseus defeat the kraken by giving him the strength to petrify the kraken with the head of Medusa that Perseus brought along in a sack.
In the original myth (not the movie) the city was Argos, and Andromeda was a princess of Ethiopia, chained to the cliff to be the victim of the whale-like monster Cetus, who Poseidon had sent to punish Argos because Queen Cassiopeia dared compare Andromeda to the Nereids. Perseus just happens to see her and rescues her.
But I gotta watch this movie now.
